+ 200 extra ping AFTER maintenance in PC NA

Maxx7410

Really nice very nice maintenance ping from 200+ to 400+ thank you!

Olauron

You are not alone. I have the same increase (PC NA).

Maxx7410

yes in general chat all have more ping

Ysbriel

So they are finally giving downtime compensations

Karivaa

Oh no!

Shantu

Yep. Running 300+ here.

TheFM

the ping setting is finally not lying xD

rumple9

same on PC EU - massive lag

Maxx7410

No i can feel the difference between 200+ and 400+ 500 at those pings i cant play

Some of our guildies were talking about this this morning. I personally saw a doubling of ping on PC/NA; I don't bother to look at the one on EU, since it's usually higher anyway. Normally I get 90-100 ms; I was seeing roughly 250 ms this morning on PC/NA.

iiYuki

Instead of fixing the servers ZO$ decided that it was easier to make NA have *** connection like EU.

My usual ping is 100-110 but this morning it is 275-325 for both my steam client account and zos client account. Checked local internet speed and it is the usual 325mps. I am only doing crafting dailies today and it totally sucks. If it is like this tomorrow when the event starts I wont bother lol

Friends and I are in the same boat. We both thought it was just our networks acting up until we began running ping checks and noticed everything EXCEPT ESO was functioning as normal. Been forum hopping for the past hour trying to figure out if we were all just super unlucky together before I found this thread.

And to add, yeah; 200 ping increase. Friends and I are usually right around 100, and now we cannot get under 300. Guildies don't seem to be having this issue, but clearly others are.

Since maintenance this morning, PC/NA has been unplayable with a 300+ ping in the red. I normally run at 70-90. Ping has basically quadrupled.

Honestly, I don't know how my Aussie friends deal with this. If I had to play with this kind of degraded performance I would find something else to do.

ZOS...Please acknowledge and fix!!

Yep, my ping is back in the red and highly variable.

Something is seriously wrong, again.

From New Zealand where ping is always crap anyway, but worse again.

Yeah it's not just a display issue either, the game doesn't ever really run smoothly but it's very obvious the increase in ping displayed is actually a true increase in response time. Every ability I cast has a much more noticeable delay than usual, even opening and deleting mail has a pretty considerable delay.

The place I noticed it was in accepting daily writ quests and handing them in. I had to pause between each key press to read and accept each writ quest, and had to try to hand them in multiple times before they were actually registered. It doesn't sound like a lot, but going from being able to accept a quest immediately, to having to wait 5+ seconds between each dialogue prompt, was very noticeable.

PC NA, normally sub 100 ping but over 300 + red after today's maint, spikes up around 600. Not seeing any trouble or differences on other games/programs or with my internet service.

JJBoomer

yeah im getting dc'd after two minutes of moving around. every time i load in

starlizard70ub17_ESO

I'm getting ping around 900 now on PC/NA, it's pointless to play anymore. I think it's time to cancel my sub, just call it quits for ESO and find something else to play. It was a fun 5 years but it's over. ZOS is never going to fix this game.

I live in the Midwest of the US...

My connection to the NA server is now going through Australia?

I know Verizon is having some issues with their network, are there others?

Emathides

Got kicked off, now my launcher which was all fine and updated after the patch is throwing errors.

Chaos2088

Same thing is happening on EU as well

BisDasBlutGefriert

It's exactly a week before Christmas. Vocus is trying to send it from their place in Cali to their place in Australia, then sold us over to akamei in Sydney Where it dies. More data pushed through....more $$. Underhanded stuff going on there

The biggest jump is going from vocus.com to vocus.net. from 54 to 213.

dmvab

I'm having the same issue too!
Before this maintenance I had a ping around 200, after today's maintenance it's 400+++ ping in every map!
I just reinstaled the game, clean install, reset my conection, contacted my ISP... nothing helped!
It's unplayable at 400++++ ping, I hope ZOS do something!

JJBoomer

Either ZOS dropped the ball, or a very clever hacker is having a grand old time

It's been happening to a lot of ppl on EU since forever, now it seems to have finally reached everyone

ESO still using Akami trash that’s known to route to middle of nowhere for no reason and cause stupid amounts of lag

But they already got everyone’s money in their new gamble crates so do you really expect them to care about performance? Maybe a little before the next time they release stuff they want people to buy we can expect a decent performance.

Vulsahdaal

Same issue here (PC-NA). Tries to deal with it for about a half hour or so and gave up.
Hope they get it straightened out soon..

Dusk_Coven

Is any geographic region NOT experiencing this increase?

wavingblue

Same thing here.. massive ping increase, 200 to 350 ms when doing nothing, probably wont' bother with combat, solid 150 to 250 ms increase over the norm
